the only way forward is not meaningless theatre at the united nations, the only way forward is to have meaningful peace talks. >> reporter: both israel and the u.s. suffered a huge blow diplomatically. >> a treaty that fulfills the aspirations of the palestinian people is through jerusalem and ramallah, not new york. we made it very clear to the palestinian leadership -- you know i met with president abbas last week -- that we oppose palestinian efforts to upgrade their status at the u.n., outside of the framework of negotiations to achieve a two-state solution. >> reporter: for now, nothing has really changed, but it could give palestinians some clout, if they take israelis to the international criminal court. it could also force the question of the fate of jerusalem, or the fate of hundreds of thousands of israelis, who live in their biblical homeland of judea and somaria. chris mitchell, cbn news. >> george: and protests rocked egypt as morsi moved to expand his power. he issued a decree giving him control of all branches of government. >> wendy: and he backed the constitutional ass

later on today, president morsi is scheduled to address nation. we're not sure what he's going to say, but certainly this is a president that's under tremendous pressure to cool the situation down and unite this country, because there's all sorts of evidence that this is a country that's divided and things could get worse if something doesn't change. we're overlooking the presidential palace right now, in front of the palace, you have a large group of supporters of the president that have gathered. a block away, you have anti-morsi protesters looking on. these are two sides that went at it last night. they literally brawled in front of the palace. more than 400 people injured, five people killed. and the question today, will those clashes take place again? the tanks have moved in to protect the palace. i wouldn't read too much into that. there's no indication that the military is going to inject itself into this conflict. no indication that they've picked sides in this conflict. but certainly, they're showing their presence in an effort to calm th

the resolution passed against the will of the united states, israel, canada and six other nations. here's u.n. ambassador susan rice after the vote. >> today's unfortunate and counterproductive resolution places further obstacles in the path to peace. that is why the united states voted against it. >> now, the vote gives the palestinians a higher profile at the u.n. and more important, it also means they can join organizations like the international criminal court. that is important because it could allow the palestinians to pursue war crime charges against israel. "outfront" tonight, the prime min sfer. good to see you. so, what does this vote mean for israel? >> it doesn't mean anything. i think it means resolution because if you'd like to get the sate, it should be on negotiations. they've got a good support of one country, israel. and they would get it only if the will is negotiations. what's happened today is that the community gave them a mandate -- between the palestinians because according to the conference, it says they're very clear that no one can take a unilateral move
